Official FAQs and errata, Version 1.2
Although we strive to ensure that our rules are perfect,
sometimes mistakes do creep in, or the intent of a rule
isnt as clear as it might be. These documents collect
amendments to the rules and present our responses to
players frequently asked questions. As theyre updated
regularly, each has a version number; when changes
are made, the version number will be updated, and any
changes from the previous version will be highlighted
in magenta. Where a version number has a letter,
e.g. 1.1a, this means it has had a local update, only in
that language, to clarify a translation issue or other
minor correction.

FAQs
Q: Can you explain the healing ability of the Lord-Castellant?
A: If the Lord-Castellant targets a Stormcast Eternal unit
with his Warding Lantern, each save roll of 7 or more
made by that unit until the next hero phase immediately
heals one wound on one model, and does so with a
+1 modifier to its save rolls. If you are making several
attacks at the same time (rolling all of the hit, wound
and save rolls simultaneously), this means you must first
heal wounds for saves of 7 or more, and then apply the
damage inflicted by attacks that were not saved.
Q: The Thunderstrike Brotherhood warscroll. Can only 1 unit
be placed in the Celestial Realm or are you able to put all units
from the scroll in reserve?
A: When using the Thunderstrike Brotherhood, as many
units as you like may be deployed in the Celestial Realm.
Q: Does the Stormcast Eternal Knight-Azyros ability Leader
of the Way mean that the whole unit has to be within 5" of
the model?
A: No the unit must be within 5" of the Knight-Azyros.
If a rule says you need to measure the range to a unit,
then you can measure the range to the closest model in
the unit.
Q: On the warscroll for the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth, there
isnt any description about the shield he carries.
A: The ability for his Sigmarite Thundershield, if he
has one, is exactly the same as the Lord-Celestant on
Stardrakes shield. Weve added this to the version of the
warscroll on the website and in the app.
Q: As a proud owner of a Stardrake, I have a question. Say for
example a Bloodthirster was in combat with a unit of Paladins
and they knock it down to 4 wounds remaining and then a
Stardrake piles in does the Cavernous Jaws ability then work
on a roll of 5 or more to eat the Bloodthirster, or is it rolled
against the warscrolls Wounds characteristic?
A: The Cavernous Jaws roll must be greater than
the models Wounds the number shown on the
models warscroll.

Q: The Decimators Cleaving Blow ability does a Decimator
get to make as many attacks with the Thunderaxe as there
are models within range, or is the Attacks characteristic of the
Thunderaxe equal to the number of models within range?
A: The Attacks characteristic is equal to the number of
models from the target unit within range.
Q: Seraphon units, specifically Terradon Riders and
Ripperdactyl Riders. Does the Swooping Dive ability mean that
they are flying high up and hence unreachable by melee attacks
unless they swoop down to the ground?
A: No. It means you must measure the range to and from
the model at the position it occupies on top of its flying
stand, unless it makes a Swooping Dive, in which case
you measure the range to and from the model as if it
were on the ground (just assume it is on the ground and
measure appropriately there is no need to place the
model on its side or remove it from the stand).
Q: The Saurus Oldblood on Carnosaur is the only Saurus
that cannot bite. Is this a mistake? Has he gotten so old he no
longer has teeth?
A: He is just too old to jump down from the Carnosaur
to bite people. Hes called an Oldblood for a reason!
Q: Can I use a Skink Starseers Cosmic Herald ability to make
my opponent re-roll their dice?
A: Yes.
Q: If an Eternal Guard unit uses the Fortress of Boughs ability,
does it lose the effects of this ability if it makes a pile-in move
during the combat phase?
A: If the Eternal Guard uses the Fortress of Boughs
ability they cannot make any kind of move until their
next hero phase this includes piling in.
Q: Can a Branchwraith summon Dryads without any
Sylvaneth Wyldwoods?
A: No.
Q: The Treelord Ancients Silent Communion ability specifies
that each Citadel Wood from the new Wyldwood must be set up
3" away from other models. Does this include scenery models
already on the battlefield when the ability is used?
A: Yes. Note that the Citadel Woods which make up the
new Wyldwood must be placed within 1" of each other
as normal.
Q: If I set up a Sylvaneth Wyldwood that is made up of three
Citadel Woods, does each Citadel Wood need to be within 1" of
both of the other Citadel Woods, or can it be set up within 1"
of only one of them? In other words, can I set up a Sylvaneth
Wyldwood in a row, or must it be set up in a clump?
A: Each Citadel Wood must be set up within 1" of both
of the other Citadel Woods (i.e. in a clump).
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Order
Q: Can multiple war machines with a relevant ability benefit
from the bonus provided by a model with the Engineer keyword
in the same turn, provided they are all within 1" of him?
A: Yes.
Q: I have a human-crewed cannon. Must I play it as
an Empire Cannon, or can I play it as an Ironweld
Arsenal Cannon?
A: It is an Empire Cannon (the Ironweld Arsenal
Cannon has a duardin crew).
Q: If I have two Bloodwrack Shrines, would I roll twice for each
model in the targeted unit for Bloodwrack Stare? Would I roll
for both Auras of Agony simultaneously?
A: Yes to both questions.
Q: The Bretonnian Peasant Bowmens Stakes ability states that
I can use stake models as a reminder that the ability is being
used to protect the unit. If I choose to do this, how do the stake
models work in the game?
A: Stake models used as a reminder are treated as
counters and should be moved out of the way if they
would prevent any enemy models from finishing a
charge or pile-in move in the correct position. The stake
models should also be removed completely if the Peasant
Bowmen unit moves, or is attacked in the combat phase.
Q: A Shadowblade Assassin that is hiding in a unit is set up at
the start of the combat phase, and can then pile in and attack.
If several Assassins are revealed at the same time, do they all get
to pile in and attack before the enemy picks any units to attack
with? And are they allowed to pile in and attack a second time
later in the combat phase? What if both sides have Assassins
hidden in units?
A: The Assassins are revealed one at a time, and make
their attack for that combat phase immediately after
they are set up, before any enemy units get to attack.
They cannot be selected to attack a second time in
the same combat phase. If both players want to reveal
Assassins, the player whose turn is taking place reveals
their Assassins first.
SYLVANETH
Q: The Gnarlroot Wargroves Seekers of Knowledge ability
allows a Gnarlroot Treelord Ancient, Branchwych or
Branchwraith to cast and unbind extra spells. Does this ability
affect only one, or all such models in the warscroll battalion?
A: It affects all such models.
